GSC Game World presented a brand new Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl trailer, which introduced us to... dozens of shades of darkness. Literally. And that’s about it.
GSC Game World uploaded brand new trailer to their troubled production of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. After about 3 years of development you would expect something spectacular to keep the attention of the audience, but... nope!
The almost 3-minutes long trailer offers some narration, some pre-rendered scenes of truck driving through a darkness and... not much more. As a person, who actually was looking forward to return of the series, I’m really getting tired of the "news" and "updates" about Stalker 2 that contain nothing substantial.
Yes, the war in Ukraine put a lot of people in front of situations noone would like to face, like fear of death, fear your loved ones are at danger, the world we knew is gone, but really this is getting ridiculous. GSC Game World had to move their staff out of Ukraine, the production was disrupted, there are more important things in the world than a game, but really, this is the best moment to put up some nothing-burger just to announce that the production will be delayed again?
The concept art is cute, the pre-rendered scenes are cute, but unless you can actually show ANY in-game footage, ANY in-game screenshots, stop wasting time on marketing BS.

Almost 3 months ago I was worried that Stalker 2 might be a huge disappointment for several reasons. Now, that developers showed us the gameplay trailer, lots and lots of red flags popped up on this project that made me feel smug and important...
Another month and another case of gaming companies trying to outbid each other who will come up with worst idea. And, oh boy, do they got good at it.
At least according to youtuber CoryxKenshin, who started a storm about being victim of racism or favouritism within youtube. Yes, boys and girls, he is convinced that robots are out to get him. I think we should re-watch Terminator movies, just in case...
Or maybe it’s just a wishful thinking, but I got a surprising e-mail from Wargaming that made me laugh. Not with them, at them.
Do you remember The Simpsons? You know, that TV series that once was funny, before it became the forgotten, although still going TV series. Wargaming just got to the new level of pathetic detachment f...
Just two months ago, CEO of Embracer Group, Lars Wingefors said in an interview (after selling / closing quite a few studios) that his company will now concentrate on smaller and better games. Guess w...
